Taking a traditional bath is one of our country’s favorite traditions. In Ark SPA Palace we create an imitation of a traditional oven. Our traditional oven is located around the corner from the bathhouse. In the bathhouse we use wooden benches, oak and birch brooms. All this creates the spirit of a real bathhouse and gives you the pleasure of visiting it.
Traditional bath is a powerful cleansing procedure that helps to maintain vitality and high immunity due to the hardening and healing effect of heat on the body, in a hot atmosphere many pathogenic microbes perish
The nervous system is relaxed, the skin becomes smooth and elastic. Relaxes muscles, relieves fatigue and stress, reduces weight.
There is no need to wash with soap and water before the steam room. Take a shower – we have plenty of showers next to the steam rooms and in the locker room for your convenience. Do not wet your head to make it easier to bear the heat. It is recommended to visit the sauna 4-5 hours after eating. Do not go on an empty stomach – it is better to eat some fruit or vegetables. You don’t have to worry about snacks, as there is an acre spa restaurant on the territory of our complex. In the steam room you can wear a felt cap and wet it with cold water.
To get used to the heat, you need to sit or lie down for a few minutes at the very bottom, and then gradually rise higher. Optimal temperature and humidity are created by splashing boiling water on the heated stones in small portions, which makes the steam less humid, “light” or “soft”. For proper blood circulation and the greatest relaxation of muscles it is important that the body is evenly heated, for this purpose it is better to lie in the steam room, periodically changing the position of the body.

Traditional bath gives vigor and good mood, gets rid of diseases, improves appearance and relieves fatigue. It is useful in case of colds, for cleansing the skin and internal organs, for active weight loss and general recovery of the body.
Temperature changes are an essential part of the traditional bathing ritual and a way to maximize health and well-being. Hot steam opens the pores and relaxes the body, while sharp cooling – be it a dousing, pool or ice water – hardens the body, improves blood circulation and energizes it. Only in the alternation of heat and cold is hidden the real power and benefits of the bathhouse. On the territory of our sauna complex you will find a variety of cold procedures
After the steam room, buckets for cold dousing are waiting for you near our bathhouse. Ice water instantly refreshes, constricts vessels, speeds up metabolism and makes you feel invigorated, ending the hot bathing procedure.
We offer two pools: one with sea water of comfortable temperature for gradual cooling and relaxation after the steam room. The second pool – with ice water for lovers of strong sensations and sharp cooling, which instantly energizes.
After an intensive treatment, immerse yourself in the Jacuzzi with warm water. The massage effect of the Jacuzzi bubbles will gently relax your muscles, restore your energy and give you a feeling of complete peace, providing the perfect end to your bath ritual.
The snow room is a unique opportunity to experience a sharp contrast after the warmth of the steam room. Snow instantly refreshes, tones and invigorates, leaving a unique sensation. Our snow contains only pure water, which makes the procedure completely safe and natural.
The best way to cool down between visits to the steam room is a shower or a cold pool near the sauna. Plunge into the pool gradually, without diving in and getting your head wet. Cooling with ice water or rubbing in the snow room – an excellent anti-stress. Contrast procedures strengthen vessels, improve blood circulation and relieve fatigue. Beginners are recommended to gradually increase the temperature difference: 3 minutes under hot water and 1 minute under cold water, repeating 3-4 times. The maximum effect from the bath is achieved by following the cycle “heating – cooling – rest”.
We recommend to make 2-3 visits to the steam room. The duration of visits is 8-10 minutes, as well as the duration of 1 single visit depends on the individual characteristics of the body.
Duration of stay in the steam room, including all visits, should not exceed 30-40 min. Rest between visits – 15-20 min.
